Using Undo Send in Tokyo.com webmail

The option to unsend email is a feature that allows for retracting your message after sending it so you can make appropriate edits, add an attachment, or forgo sending it altogether.

Unfortunately, Tokyo.com (mail.com) doesn't offer anything like an “unsend” or “undo send” feature in its interface.

Good news though! Tokyo.com (mail.com) supports IMAP, so you can access the “undo send” feature through a desktop email client like Mailbird.

FAQ about unsend email feature

Yes, you can retract an email after sending it, but since Tokyo.com doesn't offer such functionality, you can add your account to Mailbird, as it offers the feature no matter what. Mailbird is also worth checking out for a number of productivity-enhancing features, like the unified inbox for managing multiple accounts in one place, snoozing and scheduling messages, and email tracking, as well as around thirty integrations with popular tools.

In Mailbird, you can unsend an email by clicking the Undo button that appears after you click the Send button. Depending on your settings, you have up to a 30-second window to do this.

Unsending an email in Tokyo.com after an hour is not possible. What we can advise is scheduling your emails. Then, the period in which you can edit the message is framed by the scheduled time and date, not a 30-second window.

No, it's not possible for anyone except you to see the unsent message. Once you click the Undo button, the email will go back to your drafts.

No, it's not possible to unsend an email after a day. Consider using the schedule feature to get more time to reflect on your emails.
